Famous quotes containing the words signed and/or measure:

    I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit in every work of art.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
